millitary record for combat snipers is a kill shot made at 2430m by a canadian sniper-Corporal Rob Furlong. and more recently by a british sniper who made the kill at 2475ms.
though they did make the shot with a .50 cal McMillan TAC-50 rifle(the british guy did it with a L115A3 Long Range Rifle(or the AWP for CS freaks)),so a SVD at 2km seems unlikely.

I'm not well informed on guns or rather... I'm not that interested so I can't understand much the type or caliber use for guns. But from what I read in the series. I doubt she can shoot a target beyond 2 km. Plus their emergency rescue tends to be always rough. Unlike those assassins that wait for the right time to kill. They don't have the time to think twice before acting to save the victim.

true.... Reki IS an S class sniper and she's always listening to the wind.... just a short adjustment from her and i think that a 7.62mm will and WILL reach target with a range of 2km... also.... she's not a combat sharpshooter... i think....

The SVD is a cool rifle, I like how it looks but honestly I think for a sharpshooter to look really cool when sniping, a bolt action rifle is where it's at. I almost always use bolt action rifles in FPS whenever I can just cause I love the cocking of the rifle.

I don't think we see enough bolt action rifles in anime.

Wonder if we'll get to see Reki in a ghillie suit

the SVD was built for sniping.... but never for sharpshooting... I WANT HER TO CARRY A BARRETT!!!!! i also want kinji to carry a bigger caliber like a .357 or .454 since aria is already carrying .45 ACP

that thing can say hi 1.5km with its .50 BMG..... also.... its true that its not something she can tote around with.... the SVD is lighter more compact than teh barrett.... it suits her sniping needs.... UNLESS she uses a bolt action rifle for it.... and judging from her choice of semi auto snipers,she can lay down several OMG accuracy sniper fire that she cant do with a bolt action rifle...

those plus they have members specialize in precognition, Prophecys via star reading and magic ley lines in the earth kinda shit. Also they kick alot of ass with katanas especially shirayuki. Also they aren't slouches with firearms either. Guess whats Shirayuki's preferred firearm- an M60 machinegun she has with her most of the time disassembled in its field striped form and can be quickly put back together when she desires to.

A FN MAG GPMG already has a maximum range of up to 1475m, so with a properly rifled sniper rifle, the effective range can easily be increased up to 30-40%.

Despite having a longer bullet, the SVD fires the Russian 7.62 x 54mmR round, which is heavier as compared to the 7.62 x 51mm. It may have a larger amount of kinetic energy, however it doesn't work out over longer distances due to its larger mass, making it more susceptible to react to gravity over longer ranges.

Regarding snipers, they never allow themselves to be ambushed because they are the ambushers. When their opponents move for them, they run. So unless Kinji can relay information very fast as a spotter with his Hysteria mode, he and Reki can never fit.

@ Tsunade : 2km shots are the norm in open areas, like the open mountains of Afghanistan where both sides can set up OPs and pick the people they want to shoot from over a click away. The only problem is the wind, elevation adds to the advantage of the shot.

Most of all, you have to be disciplined and you have to save, even if you hate our current financial system. Because if you don't save, then you're guaranteed to end up with nothing.

LULZ mode activate!!!

thats why that the SVD's scope has a little something in its crosshair, tho i forgot what that name was.

its range is THAT far but i cant say for accuracy tho. unless reki uses an intervention rifle THEN she can reach 2km.

if kinji can do what he did in the first chapter of the LN and manga, it can be plausible that he can also be a spotter.

a rule of the sniper is for ambush and support. at first i mistook her for a sharpshooter tho. those two are different things.

and if i remember something, the calculation for the sniper (the spotter if its two man) is:

you mean the reticlue range finder? the ones in the svd aren't even designed for accommodating distance of up to 2km, not mention the standard svd doesn't even have a scope that zooms that far.
and for shooting anywhere further than 800 meters you are going to have to know the slant range, calculate the distance and correction based on mils relative from your position to the target, plus whether the target is moving or static, and take into account of atmospheric conditions(weather, wind, humidty,temperature). this is why we employ sniper teams instead of just individual snipers. It is too hard for the sniper to be tracking and aiming the target at extreme range and do all this calculation in his head while looking through the scope, Hence the spotter whose job is to relay and do all this calculation for the shooter. Believe me its a hard job.

i have no real experience with any sniper training. but from what i know of basic marksmen ship principles and the theory of gunnery you learn as a tank gunner this is pretty much what the fire control computer calculate for you after you lase a target.
